On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump signed a large executive order that seeks to renovate US pre-election procedures, including a new demand for voters to agree on citizenship. The order also obliges that all ballots should receive the election day.
The executive operation claims that the United States has not been able to “implement key and necessary pre-election protection,” and calls on states to cooperate with federal agencies to share voter lists and commit violations. States that do not correspond may face federal funding.
Trump’s procedure comes years after I have criticized US pre-election systems. He often assumed that without evidence that the election was rigged, particularly during the 2020 elections, in which he lost the Democrat. Joe BidenA number of these requirements have been repeatedly demolished, and his legal efforts to overthrow the elections failed in court.
Although the cases of voter fraud are rare and are usually pursued, Trump continued to challenge that the election process, especially the voting, is vulnerable to manipulation. His latest executive procedure reflects his old motive to tighten the voting regulations.
Proof of citizenship requirement
One of the main provisions of the order shall be the demand for voters in the federal elections evidence of citizenship. This is making legislative efforts by the Republicans, who presented the Act of Warranty of America (SEASE), similarly intended to provide only US citizens to the federal elections.
Republican supporters of the event claim that more strict rules are needed to restore public confidence in the elections. The voting of non-nucleus in the federal elections is already illegal, and violations can lead to criminal charges and deportation. However, Trump and its allies claim that additional funds are needed to protect the integrity of the process.
Critics of the evidence of citizenship claim that it can destroy millions of voters. According to the 2023 report, the Brannanyan Justice Center, about 21.3 million years of voting ages, approximately 9% – immediately access the required documents. Some groups fear that women who have changed their names due to marriage can face difficulties between their birth certificates and other types of identification.
Federal involvement in state elections

The executive order guides a number of federal agencies, including the Security, Social Security Department of the Fatherland and the State Department to share data with state electoral officials not to fulfill the voters’ rolls. It is also tasked with the US Prosecutor General’s Office, prioritizing the fulfillment of the Federal Election Laws, particularly in countries that refuse to exchange information about electoral crimes.
By the current law, states mainly monitor their own election procedures, as mentioned in the Constitution. Before the Congress, it is authorized to regulate the aspects of voting through federal legislation, such as the right to vote, the “times, places and forms of the elections”. Legal experts believe that Trump’s order may face significant challenges on constitutional grounds.
Colorado Democratic Secretary Jena Griswold has condemned the order, calling it “illegal” weapons of the federal powers. He added that Trump tries to make it more difficult for voters to “fight in the ballot box.” New York Democratic Representative Joe, which serves as a home committee, is called an executive act as “misleaded” and “illegal”.
Famous democratic lawyer Mark Elias, who often overcame the trump card with lawsuits related to the election, quickly announced his intention to challenge the order in court, saying: “It simply came to our notice then.

Another major provisions of Trump’s executive schedule call for all ballots “Vote and received” on election day. Currently, 18 states and Puerto Rico allow the postal ballots to be counted as long as they are before the day of the election or after the election day. The National Conference on State Legislative Bodies notes that these rules are different by the state, and legal challenges will probably be raised, as the federal government seeks to apply strict instructions.
Trump’s executive order also raises tasks US Pre-Electoral Commission (EAC), updating its voting system instructions to prevent fraud. Among the proposed reforms is the ban on the use of barcodes or QR codes in the counting of the votes. In such countries in Georgia, voting machines are currently used to record QR codes electronically, but some have worried that these codes are not transparent or easy by voters.
The political response of the order
While Republicans mainly support Trump’s executive order, democratic leaders and human rights activists have caused alarms. They claim that the move is part of a broader effort to suppress sounds, particularly in color communities and marginalized groups. Legal experts expect court figures to challenge judicial functions.
Trump Ally Mike Lindell, vocal orientation of electoral conspiracy theories, mentioned the executive order, claiming that “will corrected our sick elections.” Lindel, who supports voting cars to replace with manually calculated paper ballots, used the statement as a fundraising opportunity.
